I did the same one from the book with a few adjustments. Talk about violent fermentation!

Are you guys adding the water you steep the oranges in to the wort or is this just for sanitizing the oranges?

Has a great color and aroma, finished just at 1.010 (hydro was stuck up against the tube in the picture but it balanced out at 1.010 just before).
Yahoo for another good batch of beer based off this recipe!
Ever put your hydrometer in your base water and take a reading. I discovered mine is 4 pts too high! I constantly have to remember not only to adjust my reading for temps, but also subtract 4 every time!
coming soon...to a fridge near you!
Reaction with the Paws and Pints picnic Saturday was extremely positive! Here is a pour after 8 days of bottle conditioning; needs more time to develop a creamy head but the taste is most excellent!
Just finished off my keg of Da Yoopers ale. Next up was the Hefe. Beautiful and a really nice head
Bottled this last night. Question for those that have bottled it. Did you age it for the typical minimum 3 weeks at ~70º?
Well here is my pint, it's only been a week to carb but it's not too bad for only a week. Alot of bananas and cloves in the taste due to higher than ideal fermenting temperatures and not really any orange there. But it looks great and tastes good, if you don't mind the banana and clove that is, haha
How would adding a couple pounds of honey and/or a 1/2 pound of honey malt effect this beer?
Make it even more delicious!
I enhance the original extract recipe a bit. I did a partial mash with one pound of Weyermann Dark Wheat and one pound of Briess Carapills, and added a pound of brown sugar to the boil. I know it gave it a darker color (see the pic I posted a couple of pages ago), enhanced the flavor profile, and boosted the OG to 1.066. I had a FG of 1.012, making a nice, warming 7.2% ABV hefe.
